Unexpectedly for a MAGA moron, Trump bootlicker Ramaswamy called U.S. culture “mediocre” in a debate on whether immigration policy should continue approving high-skilled foreign workers H1-B visas because, as he said, Americans simply are dumbed down by a culture that elevates prom queens and jocks over nerds and valedictorians. He posted, “The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture.”
Ramaswamy himself is not an immigrant but he is the son of Indian-born immigrants who entered the US legally on work visas. He was the valedictorian of the elite Jesuit high school, St. Xavier in Cincinnati, Ohio.
He said, “Trump’s election hopefully marks the beginning of a new golden era in America, but only if our culture fully wakes up. A culture that once again prioritizes achievement over normalcy; excellence over mediocrity; nerdiness over conformity; hard work over laziness.”
Obviously anti-immigrant MAGA imbeciles were stunned by Ramaswamy’s comments. Rogan O’Handley, who runs the pro-Trump X account “DC Draino,” said, “How did DOGE go from ‘let’s cut wasteful government spending’ to ‘here’s why we need to import more immigrants’ almost overnight? What’s next? Gun control? No more oil drilling?”
Nikki Haley, an on-off Trump asslicker and rival, and the daughter of immigrants, said, “There is nothing wrong with American workers or American culture. All you have to do is look at the border and see how many want what we have. We should be investing and prioritizing in Americans, not foreign workers,” ignoring the fact that those immigrants at the border are the poorest of the planet and are not highly skilled workers. They want only the lowliest features of the much-hyped American dream: mediocrity and consumerism.
Another post about Ramaswamy said, “Vivek is tweeting about how we need Asian immigrants because Americans are bad parents who raise dumb kids, and I’m not sure this guy has a big future in Republican politics.”
The other DOGE appointee, Elon Musk, himself an immigrant from apartheid South Africa, also stands against his own MAGA xenophobia by expressing sympathy to immigrants and foreign workers. Musk has angered Trump supporters with posts that called out Americans as lazy. “There is a permanent shortage of excellent engineering talent,” Musk wrote on Wednesday. “It is the fundamental limiting factor in Silicon Valley.”
Musk, a South African who was a H-1B recipient himself at point, came to his Ramaswamy’s defense on Thursday. He wrote on X that the “number of people who are super talented engineers AND super motivated in the USA is far too low.” “Think of this like a pro sports team: if you want your TEAM to win the championship, you need to recruit top talent wherever they may be,” Musk said. “That enables the whole TEAM to win.”
H-1B visas for high-skilled workers have often been wrongly criticized for allowing companies to rely on cheap foreign labor, when the fact is that the skills required of H-1B visa holders qualify them for high-paying jobs. However, companies who hire these H-1B visa holders also maintain some control over these workers; it’s difficult for them to switch jobs, and if they lose their jobs they may be forced to leave the country. But this is for a very brief period of time: Typically, within one year of their hiring on a H-1B visa, these workers apply and obtain the green card or permanent residence, which then allows them to do whatever they want, including quitting the field for which they were initially hired.
Musk said that Silicon Valley needs foreign workers because there aren’t enough “super motivated” and “super talented engineers” in America. His statements quickly drew criticism from conservatives who support Trump’s draconian immigration policies. “The number of people who are super talented engineers AND super motivated in the USA is far too low … Think of this like a pro sports team: if you want your TEAM to win the championship, you need to recruit top talent wherever they may be. That enables the whole TEAM to win.”
The comments incensed Trump ally Laura Loomer, who accused Musk of opposing “MAGA immigration policy.” Loomer added: “You’re still not our President. The real President knows H-1B visas are bad for America and the real President is from this country.” Loomer, like most MAGA imbeciles, ignores that two of Trump’s three wives were born outside of the U.S., and his firms have hired many people on H1-B visas in the past. The problem for MAGA morons is that they are racist and against ALL immigrants. When pushed, they generally say they are against “illegal” immigration only. So why do they hyperventilate about legal high-skilled immigrants? Because they are racist xenophobes who simply don’t understand that America’s greatness is not because of its dumb athletes and bimbos; it is because of the foreign immigrants who man more than 60% of all technical and scientific jobs in the country. Deny these people to come into the country, and America will turn into a scientific and cultural wasteland.
Interestingly, Musk himself is an immigrant who was born in South Africa, came here on a student visa in 1995 which he violated by working illegally and cheated by not enrolling in classes at Stanford University where he was admitted. When Musk was asked at one of his Super PAC’s town hall events about his own experience in the immigration system, he said, “It is easier to get into this country as a murderer than as a Nobel Laureate,” he added.
